lots of stories about 7 year-olds taking cars and going on a joyride. This one took a car just because it was fun. The reason this seven year-old boy took this vehicle because he plays to much video games, and video games can have a huge influence on young kids minds. Video games is like a drug to young boys, it is like their tobacco. I bet right before this kid took the car he played a racing game, and he thought it would be fun to race in real life. This young 7 year-old admits in the video that he plays video games. Kids want to be like the character they control on the television. This kid says “It is fun to do bad things,” and most of the “cool” games like Grand Theft Auto and True Crimes influences doing bad actions. lots of problems that come from young kids is a result from to much video games or bad television. Children have curious minds and want to try anything they see. If a 7 year-old boy is playing a game that involves stealing a car and racing through the streets, he will steal a car and race through the streets.
Yet the media advertises games on TV commercials all the time. The media doesn’t care if the product that they are going to sell you may hurt you, they just want money. Who cares if videogames can destroy young kids minds and tobacco can kill you, I just want to make money. This is the mindset of the media. New video games are constantly coming out each one is worse and worse, because those are the games that sell. Their audience are young boys and young boys love games involvingviolence. Companies that sell video games make lots of money of children’s parents because children beg their parents for new video games when they come out. A commercial about a new game would probably come on TV at 3:3o pm when children are out of school and watching TV. It is amazing how the media knows the perfect time to air a commercial to sell a product. Not only does the media control the world, but it controls peoples minds.
